PBJ - The Musical: A Surreal Shakespearean Sandwich Saga
Tired of predictable theatre? PBJ - The Musical offers a refreshingly bizarre take on Shakespeare, blending musical theatre with the unlikely pairing of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. This quirky mobile game, launching March 26th on iPhone and iPad, reimagines Romeo and Juliet as a star-crossed strawberry and peanut butter love story.
Experience a unique narrative through ten musical acts, handcrafted stop-motion animation, and amateur Shakespearean voice acting. Players can either passively enjoy the automated storyline or actively shape the narrative by dragging and dropping story elements, creating a distinct experience each playthrough. Guide the peanut and strawberry lovers through this surreal theatrical adventure.
A Quirky Delight (or Not?)
The game's quirkiness is central to its appeal. Whether you embrace or reject its unique style will likely determine your enjoyment. The evident dedication to this project is intriguing, and its reception on March 26th will be fascinating to observe.
Interestingly, PBJ - The Musical isn't alone in the mobile musical theatre space. Adventures of a Cat in Space shares a similar handcrafted feel, though it focuses on a feline astronaut rather than a Shakespearean adaptation.
